stop posting links with tracking information

if a youtube link ends in something like ?si=asdfghjklasdfghjkl thats tracking info, and you should remove it. not only is it less google tracking but its also way shorter! the ideal form of youtube link is youtube.com/watch?v=videoid - youtu.be/videoid is only ever generated by the share button, so theyll still get that information out of it

if a tumblr link ends in ?source=share then youre not gonna believe what that means. if the user has a custom theme its usually best to link to that, i.e. username.tumblr.com/post/1234567890 as opposed to www.tumblr.com/username/1234567890

if youre sharing a google search, the only nessecary bit of the url is https://google.com/search?q=search+query (and while we're at it, &udm=14)

if any link has utm parameters in it thats tracking info. theyre used by a lot of websites so just be generally aware of them. (reddit uses them too. in links to specific comments, the context parameter is how many of the comments higher up in the thread to show, so make sure you dont accidentally delete that too)

just in general, share buttons tend to insert a lot of tracking stuff. if youre on a website then just copy the url, its so much easier. if you see something at the end of a link and youre not sure and cant figure out what it means, remove it and see if it still works the same! and if it does then remember that. eventually you get a feel for it

steven: cries over snakes not having any arms, genuinely upset over pearl poofing for the first time, worries he's not gonna grow up at all which causes him to switch back to a baby, befriends bismuth and peridot (both gems that tried to kill him), tries to heal jasper when she was starting to corrupt, becomes friends with centipeedle (and tries to help her in monster reunion), and more examples i can't list off the top of my head

su "critics": HURR DURR STEVEN SHOULD'VE KILLED THE DIAMONDS

.........explain to me how that would've made sense

Nobody:

No one:

Not even a single soul:

Westerners: These characters who are written to be commentaries on Japanese/Asian gender roles are clearly meant to be trans and anyone who disagrees with me is transphobic!

Will Wood and Dave Malloy giving the kids these days what they really want. Inhumanly fast and discordant piano solos.

as a subtitler im incredibly biased as i say this but. shoutout to forms of fan labor other than fanart and fanfiction. fanart and fanfiction are awesome, don't take this as a dig at those, but i have a big appreciation for fans who provide closed captioning/subtitles/translations of works out of love n passion; fans who recap and explain aspects of the original work; fucking SPEEDRUNNERS, holy shit, shoutout to speedrunners and challenge runners in video game communities. lots of things that fall outside the scope of what comes to mind when people think of fanart/fan labor are integral parts of a healthy fan ecosystem

i think it's very funny when there's a running gag in a story about the person in charge of transport (e.g. a spellcaster opening portals) straight up sucking at their job. bro doesn't know squat about geography, can't read maps or numbers, maybe even has dyscalculia. they open a portal few kilometres away from the requested spot and suddenly the party has to escape quicksand, or find their way out of an abandoned mine, or fight of wave upon wave of monsters they weren't paid to fight

Much to consider

Shoutout to "prehistoric dinosaurs" and "microscopic plankton" and "religious Jews" and other phrases that aren't as redundant as people think

For those of you calling 2012 Mikey innocent and constantly babying him and saying he must be protected, you are literally doing the exact thing that he hates.

2012 Mikey has stated in the show that he hates being treated like a child and doesn’t like it when people look/treat him as such. Yes, his brothers are still gonna be protective of him but that’s brotherly instincts. He is the youngest after all.

But we have to remember that in the end…

Mikey is NOT innocent. He has committed manslaughter. He literally ate PizzaFace alive, who is a mutant that used to be a living human being.

Mikey does NOT need to be protected. He can handle himself. He managed to figure out and survive in Dimension X all on his own for what seemed like weeks/months. He also took on villains like Tiger Claw, Rahzar and Newtralizer by himself!

Mikey is NOT a baby. Mikey is a skilled ninja. Splinter has stated that Mikey has the highest intuition compared to his brothers. He was also willing to sacrifice and die for his friends and family in an attempt to to stop Newtrailzer, staying behind as Dregg’s ship exploded.

one of my (new) favorite starkid things is their reprises where they've subtly changed the titular phrase

"follow the golden rule" vs "follow the gold and rule"

"bully the bully" vs "bury the bully"

i just think it's neat

Talk to me about the gay Dan voice

ok this wont be long bc they gave us a BEAUTIFUL vid that showcases perfectly what im talking about here (and i get that he was playing around this vid but still!!!!)

just the way that dan's been saying 'girllll' whenever phil speaks lol or hangs his wrist or says gay slang is just so!!!!!!! he's never really done before and i just think he's become more comfortable and sure of himself. i mean watch like a clip of the video above compared to like any video pre coming out

i really really love that luffy is someone who respects agency a lot. he turns down zeff's request to take sanji onto his crew, and respects sanji's view that he wants to stay at the baratie even though everyone in the room knows that sanji does want to go to the grand line. he waits for nami to ask him for help instead of just storming in to take down arlong. he insists that robin says that she wants to live. he turns down kin'emon's request for his crew to save wano because he wants to hear it from momonosuke himself. there's probably more examples but i can't think of any rn

I DON'T have a favorite ship dynamic I DON-

...fuck-

[jingerpi]

cursed to be perpetually aware of

"transmisogyny targets trans women -> it also hurts trans men -> anti trans panic also hurts cis women"

"the US and Israel are commiting genocide in Gaza -> the genocide is also hurting Palestinian Christians and white tourists -> this war money could be better spent domestically"

"anti homeless architecture makes it illegal to live without a house -> it also hurts disabled people -> ableist structures also hurt abled people"

it's weird because with some of these there are genuine points to be made and it's worth discussing the full consequences of things but I can't help but be aware of the human-value-hierarchy implicit in these statements and how attention is always brought away from those who suffer most from their own oppression. it's not really surprising and it's 100% the system working as intended but you really start to see it everywhere once you look
